This does not look like Eliza Dushku -- (link) - decline Nov 16, 08:37 3
- After a thorough analysis, the angle makes her nose and chin look different than usual press shots. Also her eyes are not done up to the 9s like usual -- nm - rollo Nov 16, 08:46
- Time marches on. -- nm - Spawn Nov 16, 08:42
- I think it does. God, is that still dragging out? -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 08:42
Let's check in on the Coach K Appreciation Tour. Grandson and star freshman arrested for DWI. -- (link) - Will Hunting Nov 16, 08:24
"No man has all 5" 1. Hairline in tact 2. A beard 3. Not addicted to playing the game 4. Good music taste 5. Tags that ain’t expired -- (link*) - budice Nov 16, 08:11 10
- 4/5. I'm addicted to lots of games. Perhaps not The Game. - Qale Nov 16, 08:45
- 5/5 -- nm - rollo Nov 16, 08:33 1
  - That explains the Pippy Defense System you had installed. -- nm - Cowboy BeBaron Nov 16, 08:34
- Yep, yep, what?, yep, what? (NM) - Marlowe Nov 16, 08:28
- What does, "Tags that ain’t expired" mean? - Krusty Nov 16, 08:21 4
  - I assume they mean car tags (plates)? -- nm - spamlet Nov 16, 08:23 3
    - Basically a way to say "All his bills are paid on time." -- nm - Volnelk Nov 16, 08:24
    - I thought that but is it common for people to let them expire? - Krusty Nov 16, 08:24 1
      - It's not uncommon. I just assume that person is uninsured since you can't get new tags without. -- nm - Cowboy BeBaron Nov 16, 08:32
- 4/5. My beard fu is weak. (I'm not even sure what #3 means so I assume I'm not addicted.) -- nm - Cowboy BeBaron Nov 16, 08:17
Poll: What is the percentage likelihood that your next car will be all electric? -- nm - prayformojo Nov 16, 08:07 23
- If I could solve for charging I probably would get a 3 -- nm - rollo Nov 16, 08:47
- 25% Affordability is always a factor for me. But I certainly wouldn't rule them out automatically. -- nm* - Qale Nov 16, 08:46
- 90%, allowing for the chance that I might need to make a snap purchase out of necessity. - Beryllium Nov 16, 08:46
- 100% -- nm - TWuG Nov 16, 08:43
- Likely 0. Clean coal is the way. -- nm - budice Nov 16, 08:42
- 90%. I'm hoping that the current Prius will last another 5-6 years and if it does, then an EV it will the replacement at that time - JD Nov 16, 08:38
- 10% at best. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 16, 08:38
- About 25%. I'm looking to buy either a PHEV or the F-150 Lightning sometime in the next 6 months. - ReluctantCynic Nov 16, 08:26
- 50/50. -- nm - pmb Nov 16, 08:26
- If I were shopping, likely a gas hybrid. Don't think I'm ready for a plug-in of any kind. - Meg Nov 16, 08:24 1
  - I was hoping for a hybrid on my last car (not recent purchase) but the price diff was too much. - Cowboy BeBaron Nov 16, 08:29
- I think 100%. -- nm - amanda jeans Nov 16, 08:23
- 0 -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 16, 08:21
- zero. I havent owned (or driven) a car in 40 years, that probly won't change. -- nm - mud Nov 16, 08:17
- 50/50 -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 16, 08:13
- That's probably 10+ years out so largely dependent on factors external to me. 20%? - Cowboy BeBaron Nov 16, 08:13
- 30ish percent - really depends on if my condo complex figures out an acceptable charging solution - decline Nov 16, 08:12
- 20% because near term and I'd like more infrastructure weeks. -- nm - Max Nov 16, 08:12
- 20%. -- nm - zunk xometimes Nov 16, 08:12
- It would be already if not vetoed so not up to me :) -- nm - spamlet Nov 16, 08:11
- 50% -- nm - Spawn Nov 16, 08:11
- 100% -- nm - oblique Nov 16, 08:10
- 0% I will likely be getting my first car next year. As it will be something used and affordable it sadly won't be electric. -- nm - Krusty Nov 16, 08:09
If you are A) fully vaccinated and B) hate yourself, then you can go to Times Square for New Year's Eve -- (link*) - ty97 Nov 16, 07:59 2
- I agree there was a charm. But its just such a crowded scene -- nm - budice Nov 16, 08:01 1
  - Let's make sure Travis Scott is nowhere near it then. -- nm - Qale Nov 16, 08:51
There are three people doing the nasty work of cleaning out our crawlspace, lining with plastic. Do we tip them? How much? -- nm - colin Nov 16, 07:56 7
- $0. -- nm - znufrii Nov 16, 08:16
- To me that is kind of a big job like getting siding, painting, or roofing. I wouldn't tip for something like that. -- nm - zunk xometimes Nov 16, 08:15 1
  - i know they're probably getting paid pretty poorly though... -- nm - colin Nov 16, 08:21
- $10 each should be enough for them to get some nasty fast food. Go on with your nasty selves. -- nm - Max Nov 16, 08:05 2
  - I agree with Max. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 16, 08:22
  - Don't mean a thing -- nm - oblique Nov 16, 08:10
- Cold beverage. -- nm - Cowboy BeBaron Nov 16, 08:00
Fuzzy, from B-whatever, your daughter might like Deathloop for Ps5 -- nm - decline Nov 16, 07:44 1
- I got in about 4 hours and just never made it back. It was a digital FOMO purchase too, so I can't even return the disc somewhere. - Shaun Nov 16, 08:22
So Toronto made a great deal and the Angels did Angels things. Both Berrios and Noah S get about 20mil a year but one is good and the other is broken - Will Hunting Nov 16, 07:39 7
- Angels needed to address Pitching and theyve at least made an effort. 1yr is not bad -- nm - budice Nov 16, 07:51 5
  - It's $20mil for a mediocre pitcher. There's no positive value. - Will Hunting Nov 16, 08:20 3
    - The Angels should be going for some of the best pitchers available. Not someone recovering from surgery that caused him to miss a year of play. -- nm - Krusty Nov 16, 08:24 2
      - They need so many pitchers, they can't pay 30mil on another 1 name - Will Hunting Nov 16, 08:28 1
        
        Yeah, this all makes sense. They would be much better off going for the Rodriguez's of the world than a big name that's not shown a lot - Krusty Nov 16, 08:42
  - The issue with giving him a one year deal is he's coming off Tommy John surgery and nearly every pitcher needs a full year before they're - Krusty Nov 16, 08:18
- Good for Noah, he gets to go to nice weather and relax. and never ever have to worry about the stress of trying to make the post season. - Jovian Nov 16, 07:44

Abbott and Costello are jealous... -- (link) - decline Nov 16, 07:20 1
- :-D ! -- nm - mud Nov 16, 07:26
Anyone have an entrée idea for a large group of people that is NOT pasta/sauce, casserole or a turkey? - Diva Nov 16, 07:15 29
- I agree with Jambalaya or taco bar. Or some sort of tray bake or charcuterie board. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 16, 07:54 1
  - Put me down for Taco bar as well. It's fun, easy, and different from Thanksgiving. - Volnelk Nov 16, 08:13
- Jambalaya -- nm - prayformojo Nov 16, 07:39
- Portillo's Italian beef sandwiches :) -- nm - oblique Nov 16, 07:33
- also - this would be the dinner for everyone the day before T-Giving. So I'm not trying to go crazy gastronomically if that makes sense... - Diva Nov 16, 07:25 9
  - These are great ideas folks, thanks so much! -- nm - Diva Nov 16, 07:43 1
    - Note to self: Live closer to Diva and allow her to feed me. -- nm - Cowboy BeBaron Nov 16, 08:05
  - Chili -- nm - budice Nov 16, 07:34
  - Big pot of soup, fresh baked bread -- nm - rollo Nov 16, 07:33 1
    - This would work as well. -- nm - spamlet Nov 16, 07:37
  - So the filet roast is definitely out. :) -- nm - znufrii Nov 16, 07:30
  - Taco bar. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 07:26 2
    - Green chile pork tacos -- (link) - znufrii Nov 16, 08:01
    - taco bar, yum -- nm - ty97 Nov 16, 07:47
- Jambalaya. (NM) - Marlowe Nov 16, 07:24
- If you like mushrooms and dijon I have a killer beef tenderloin recipe that has the added benefit of being easy peasy -- nm - rollo Nov 16, 07:23
- Paella! -- nm - Cowboy BeBaron Nov 16, 07:19
- Asian perhaps. A rice dish? -- nm - budice Nov 16, 07:17
- Beef tenderloin roast? -- nm - znufrii Nov 16, 07:16 10
  - Okay moneybags. -- nm - Shaun Nov 16, 07:32
  - Yeah I was thinking some sort of pork tenderloin. How many people? -- nm - spamlet Nov 16, 07:19 8
    - this is probably what I would do -- nm - decline Nov 16, 07:21
    - Pork would be cheaper, for sure. - znufrii Nov 16, 07:21
    - 12-ish? -- nm - Diva Nov 16, 07:20 5
      - Anyone that you know have dietary restrictions that would exclude pork? - spamlet Nov 16, 07:26 1
        
        Yes. I will make chicken or fish for her on the side. -- nm - Diva Nov 16, 07:42
      - small roast pig -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 07:24 1
        
        Yup, Google kahlua pig near me, there's usually an islander restaurant, caterer that can roast a whole one for 150 or so -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 16, 11:05
      - Might be better off with pork then, unless you want leftovers. -- nm - znufrii Nov 16, 07:22
Headline Trolling?: Renderings show America's first Ismaili Center will be architectural jewel for Houston -- nm - Qale Nov 16, 07:08 2
- Ismalis are the moderates who conservatives are always asking for from the Muslim community and say that they don't exist, fwiw. -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 07:14 1
  - Yes. I immediately looked up the term Ismalis since I was unfamiliar. My thought is perhaps 'jewel' was maybe the sneaky trolling. - Qale Nov 16, 07:38
Some of you clearly use the wrong turkey recipe -- nm - ty97 Nov 16, 07:08 6
- The big benefit of turkey use that you can feed 10 people with it. Otherwise it's enh. - Reagen Nov 16, 07:15 4
  - You are a terrible American. -- nm - ty97 Nov 16, 07:26
  - My condolences on your damaged olfactory nerve. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 07:23
  - I have found that raw turkey keeps longer than raw chicken (same fridge conditions). They must be eating some antibacterial bamboo. -- nm - Max Nov 16, 07:22
  - It’s all about the sides anyway. -- nm - spamlet Nov 16, 07:19
- Turkey is awesome. They're doing it wronbg. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 07:09
I've got a 2 hour "team building" meeting at 11:30. Could some kind STer leap out of the shadows and stab me halfway through so I can leave early? -- nm - Cowboy BeBaron Nov 16, 07:04 4
- Why wait until half way through, wouldn't it be better roughly 5 or 10 minutes in? -- nm* - Cuzzin Todd Nov 16, 07:09 1
  - I'm not saying no, but I might shriek in a distinctly unmanly fashion. -- nm - Cowboy BeBaron Nov 16, 07:13
- *extended to 4 hours due to lack of teaming motivation* -- nm - ty97 Nov 16, 07:07 1
  - The team building will continue until morale improves? -- nm - spamlet Nov 16, 07:18

Every News Story: Your Thanksgiving dinner will cost MORE this year!! 15% more than 2020!! - Qale Nov 16, 06:47 14
- We don't do turkey anymore. Most people don't seem to like it. Last year Theresa and I made big steaks for Thanksgiving. - Krusty Nov 16, 06:54 10
  - I'll likely get a turkey dinner to go from Kaye's Kitchen down in the village like I did last year. There's a chance my friend will take a chance on - Meg Nov 16, 07:53 3
    - Hopefully she has the gathering but if not that's a good idea for a nice meal for yourself. Do the kitties get anything special? - Krusty Nov 16, 08:00 2
      - They've always been indifferent to anything but dry chow, but they've recently discovered melted cheese. Breakfasts can be a battle :) -- nm - Meg Nov 16, 08:15 1
        
        I'd grab a bag of freeze dried turkey to try as a treat. :-) -- nm - Krusty Nov 16, 08:26
  - I like turkey, but I like steak more. Since I'm solo, I just buy a nice frozen pizza. - Cowboy BeBaron Nov 16, 07:05 5
    - It's Thanksgiving, go with a fresh, hot pie from a pizzeria as a treat. :-) -- nm - Krusty Nov 16, 07:31 3
      - I live right next to The Hill a number of those places sell frozen pies at the grocery store. I'm a fan. -- nm - Cowboy BeBaron Nov 16, 07:43 2
        
        Cool. I hope you enjoy the day! - Krusty Nov 16, 08:04 1
        
        Aw, thanks. You're good people. :) -- nm - Cowboy BeBaron Nov 16, 08:20
    - Ah, I see you also celebrate No Fuck's Given -- nm - rollo Nov 16, 07:20
- Still gonna get my free turkey though. -- nm - znufrii Nov 16, 06:49
- Yeah, don't get a turkey this year. (Cause turkey kind of sucks.) -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 16, 06:49 1
  - I don't get how Thanksgiving Turkey is any different than oven roasted turkey from a good deli, but sure spend $25+ on a huge-ass bird that... - Qale Nov 16, 06:51
Packers doing a stock offering $300/share w/300k shares offered. I thought the email was spam tbh -- (link) - budice Nov 16, 06:44 1

wow Max 👍👍👍👍 -- nm - rollo Nov 16, 06:42 12
- ?? I don't see anything on the backboards -- nm - Krusty Nov 16, 06:47 10
  - He set a new bar in the spelling bee -- nm - rollo Nov 16, 06:48 9
    - Ahhh. :-) I thought it was something life related. - Krusty Nov 16, 06:52 7
      - aww, now I feel unaccomplished all over again. - Max Nov 16, 06:55 6

        Michael Jackson is dead. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 16, 07:14 2
        
        Have you ever seen Max and Michael Jackson in the same place? -- nm - spamlet Nov 16, 07:56 1
        
        Too many times. -- nm - Spawn Nov 16, 08:04
        
        You're perfect just the way you are! 😘🥰 -- nm - Krusty Nov 16, 06:57
    - Some players like to come up with single words. I like to look for the COOTYS RAT SEMEN. -- nm - Max Nov 16, 06:50

Anyone play Halo yesterday? It was at 88% installed when I went to bed. Apparently it also has an update immediately as well. -- nm - Volnelk Nov 16, 06:32 5
- Not being able to play the exact game type you want to play is a bit of a bummer too. -- nm - Shaun Nov 16, 07:41
- I played. I had a lot of fun. -- nm - Mop Nov 16, 07:16
- I played a bit. Looks and feels like Halo. -- nm - Shaun Nov 16, 06:40 2
  - That seems to be the reaction. The reviews are saying that the battlepass seems like a HUGE list to get through. Not entirely sure what that means. -- nm - Volnelk Nov 16, 07:14 1
    - You level up too slowly. I played maybe like 7-6 matches total and didn't even level up once. -- nm - Shaun Nov 16, 07:31
Brace yourselves for the Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer later today. -- nm - Shaun Nov 16, 06:32 3
